They may look very nice, and I have to agree. But the animations are really vital for the buildings, I wonder if Jalcober will be able to show them at one point.

The other thing is that their appearance suggests their functionality to be highly, highly situational. It's obviously part of why they look so good-- if they were too generic, they'd lose their appeal. But I'm afraid that it'll scare Valve off if they can't come up with a decent, well-rounded set of game-changing attributes for them.

I could see Valve implementing some kind of scratch-off lottery, like, match 3 Saxtons without uncovering a Hippy and you win a hat, or if you uncover an Australium Bar, you get an unusual.

It'd certainly be more fun than the crates, and it'd probably sell much better than the keys, seeing as how there's that "OH GOD, I COULD HAVE WON IF I SCRATCHED OFF THAT ONE, I WON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN..." factor.

Seeing as how people got mad after VALVe made Mann co. store bought items craftable after a few days, getting hats and unusuals like that would not only make crates obsolete, but make a lot of people mad.

Wow. Just wow. Almost all of those are just hats that already exist for one class and have been taken and put on the head of another class, with a bit of recoloring and shape changing to make it look a tad different.

EDIT: I could on and list out which hats they look like but you'd probably just hate me for that to.

I didn't know 3/9 was the majority. 3 of those look similar in style (Sniper, Medic, and Demo) to a hat another class has (Although they may actually be a completely different sort of hat), but they are still very nice hats which look good on them.
